The Paris Marathon is one of Europe's most popular marathons thanks to the spectacular views of the city. Tens of thousands of runners take part every year.

Starting at the foot of the Arc de Triomphe, you'll see the Champs Elysées, the Bois de Vincennes and many other famous landmarks along your route. The sights of Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower guiding you towards the finish line make for an unforgettable experience.

By fundraising for Shelter, you'll be defending the right to a safe home for everyone.

You must be at least 19 years old to run the Paris Marathon (born in 2005 or earlier).

Already have your own place?

If you've already secured a spot, you can use your place to help create housing justice by running and fundraising for Shelter. We'd love for you to join the team – get in touch below.

Your run fuels the fight for home

Every mile, every drop of sweat, and every pound you raise will help tackle the devastating impact of the housing emergency. For example, your £575 fundraising pledge could:

  • fund 19 calls to our emergency helpline

  • fund 25 webchats providing essential housing advice

  • pay for legal advice to help three families in crisis keep their home

Fundraising for Shelter

We recommend you start by setting up a fundraising page on JustGiving and asking friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you. You can also organise an event such as a bake sale or quiz. See our fundraising resources for more inspiration.

Please make sure you’re confident in reaching the fundraising pledge before you sign up. We invest in places at charity events and need to raise as much as possible for our fight against housing injustice.

Our friendly Events team are on hand to support you with your fundraising. If you have a question or want to talk through ideas, email running@shelter.org.uk or call us on 0344 515 1190.
